[QUOTE="DungeonmasterCal, post: 1557725, member: 5388"] That's tough...especially when he's actually playing by the rules and not cheating. It's harder to come down on someone like that. But if he's being deragatory toward the other players and their styles of character development, then you really should have a word with him. He's not worth breaking up a gaming group over (which could likely happen, as the bulk of your players will get tired of it and leave...I've seen it happen). Try to be open and honest with him, and explain your reasons. If he's not open to your suggestions, then suggest one more thing--that he find another gaming group. It sounds like there are also some maturity issues at play (that doesn't mean he's young, just immature. I used to have a 35 year old in my group who acted like 5 year old most of the time when he didn't like something). As the DM, you have final say in the game and how it's played. This isn't really that rare, I think. I know other groups where long-time players have left because they don't like how some players really dig into the rules and use them to build uber-characters. Of course, other players can do the same, but it's all a matter of style. [/QUOTE]
